Such a great theme for spring! I am really looking forward to this exchange.

The Birds and the Bees and the Flowers and the Trees  — Botanical & Insect: flowers, trees, leaves, dragonflies, butterflies, birds, etc.


sign up deadline: Tuesday, 03/22/16
postmark deadline: Tuesday, 04/19/16

YOU MUST SIGN UP VIA THE FORM ABOVE OR YOU WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED SIGNED UP. If you do not receive a confirmation email after signing up, please let me know.

I suggest taking a photograph of all of your completed, stamped exchange envelopes. You do NOT have to send me this photo unless something goes wrong and no one receives your exchanges in which case it will be helpful to determine what went wrong.

As always, the following guidelines apply:

1. Although the exchanges do not have to be handmade, some kind of calligraphy should be used on either the inside or envelope.
2. You will send an exchange to every member on your list (typically 7-9 members).
3. Must be related to the theme.
4. All skill levels welcome!
5. If you end up not being able to participate, please contact me ASAP. If you don't send your exchange after the list has gone out, you will not be able to participate in the next exchange.
6. You must sign up before the deadline. No late sign ups. (No early sign ups either. You can only sign up for the current open sign up.)
7. HAVE FUN!

I was just thinking about how I will miss seeing the California poppies everywhere now that I'm in Massachusetts.  Clearly I need this exchange to express my love of those poppies.  :)

Sorry, I'm a total newbie, just wanted to get a clear understanding. If I sign up, i get a list of 7-9 addresses, then i write/create a letter around that theme to send out? Is there a deadline for when it has to be sent out?
